1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Indigenous local cattle constitute one of the major components and primary contributors to the livestock sector in Sri Lanka. Understanding the genetic makeup of local cattle is essential for their effective utilization in national breed improvement programs aimed at enhancing productivity, as well as elucidating their historical development and ancestry. Accordingly, this study was conducted to assess the genomic diversity and population structure of two understudied local cattle populations of Sri Lanka, Northern Local and Kinniya cattle in addition to three well established indigenous breeds, Batu, Thawalam and White cattle. Estimates of genomic diversity indices revealed moderately high observed heterozygosity across all populations. F
